Zynga has added a game bar for FrontierVille! Download the Zynga Toolbar and you can get up to 35 horseshoes for free (20 for downloading + 1 each day for 15 days)! The gamebar tells you when your crops are ready, when your friends have visited your homestead, and even gives you free energy!

Once you have it installed you’ll get a little toolbar in your browser. Click on the ‘Need attention!’ or ‘Ready!’ links to the right of your game stats to load the game. When the game loads Frontier Jack will give you 20 horseshoes and tell you that you will get 3 extra energy every 8 hours when you use the game bar!

Accept that and you get another popup with your first bonus of 3 extra energy and your daily horseshoe (you can get 1 free horseshoe each day for the first 15 days after install)

The fine print on the website says “*20 horseshoes will be awarded upon successful install, plus 1 bonus horseshoe will be awarded per day for the first 15 days after install. You must enter via the Game Bar to claim your reward and get your bonus. Limit one bonus per player.”

If you don’t usually use these browsers you can log into them, get the bonuses, then go back to your preferred browser until tomorrow, when you will want to go back for another free horseshoe !

Once you’ve completed your Jackalope Lodge Missions and built your Frontierville Jackalope Lodge you will be able to earn badges! Please note that I’ve added a PAGE for the below chart which you can find from any post or the main site page using the links at the very top. This will make it easy for you to find and reference if you don’t want to save the chart to your pc. Please share!

Tips for earning badges:

Buy a LOT of chickens and click on them, use snacks from your inventory to work on Clicker and Consumption badges.

For Decorator you can use items from your shed and inventory instead of buying them, but it takes longer to open the windows. I used a 1×1 object and just clicked wildly (while still collecting those bonuses for Clicker Badge)

For Rancher, sell the chickens once you’ve finished off a bunch of the other badges.

For Consumption and Cultivator, be careful before you finish the last badge, it gives you a LOT of XP and will level you up, so make sure you use up your energy before completing them.

For Clicker, to get more of the bonuses before they fade, click to share something (varmint, collection, etc.) and leave it up without publishing it. Collect all the bonuses and they shouldn’t fade until you click publish or skip on that popup. This works for neighbor visits too.

The FrontierVille Horseshoe Pit minigame is here!

Disclaimer: There is no time limit on building the Pit, and it is OPTIONAL. You do not have to buy it and play the other zynga games to finish it if you don’t want to. This information is here for you if you do! Scroll to the end for tips on fast leveling.

WARNING: To earn items for this task, you MUST first enter the other games through FrontierVille horseshoe pit popups! Do this for each game separately and make sure you re-enter through FrontierVille for progress to count!

Tips for leveling up fast!

Here’s what I did to level each of these games quickly to finish my horseshoe pit. I had already played most of them in the past so there was more experience required for me to level. Keep in mind that most of these tips factor in that you won’t be continuing to play these games and you might use up your ‘real money – in game cash’ stores. THESE ARE ONLY SUGGESTIONS! Play this way or by your own strategy. There is no time limit on building the Horseshoe Pit, so you don’t need to rush. I wanted to get you the most information as quickly as possible, without spending real cash on it, so the following ideas/tips helped me. Good luck and have fun with those other games if you get a chance!

FarmVille:

Beginners: Plant short term crops and pick them up as soon as they are ready. Collect all free animals and sell them. Ask friends to post collections, high sale priced items from their easter basket, tuscan wedding, storage cellar, etc. Collect everything you can and sell it. You’ll get those 200 plots in no time!

Advanced: Use your upgraded plow, seeder, and harvester on short term crops. If you have any farm cash left, you can use the crop plane to make them done instantly.

Mafia Wars:

Beginners: Click on jobs to do them and go to the fight tab and try robbing to use up your stamina quickly.

Advanced: Go to Bangkok or Moscow to find high energy jobs and do those. Use up your stamina as well! Use an energy pack from a friend. Buy another energy pack or 2 with any reward points you have (10/pack).

Cafe World:

Beginners: Make fast recipes and don’t worry about decorating.

Advanced: Use your upgraded stove(s) to quickly start high point recipes (usually the ones way to the right that take the longest). Delete it, make it again, delete it, etc. You’ll get there. (Fast: Mystical Pizza!)

Poker:

Beginners: You’ll have more money than you need to get past level 5, so don’t worry about it at all. Click ‘Check or Call/ Call any’ whenever your turn comes up. Keep your sound on so you hear the little bell when it’s your turn and you can multitask. I did all 5 levels in about 2 hours .

Advanced: Couldn’t tell you.. I’m not a Poker person. If there is anything for speed, using real money or something to help you level faster, go for it.
